   Meal started out well with the steak tartare however, everything else was mediocre or bad. The octopus dish with the potato gnocchi had an over sweet sauce, and the potato gnocchi were literally lead bombs. The black cod was essentially inedible, and my wife didn’t eat it and the waiter just took it away. Didn’t ask how she liked it or anything. I had the beef cheek which normally I love beef cheek, but this was dry without a sauce  . In addition, the pastas were boring and The fettuccine with lobster was overly heavy, and the agnolotti tasteless. The outdoor space was super cute. In addition, the wine we ordered was never decanted and had massive amounts of sediment. It was never poured, except for the initial opening of the wine.

   We dined at Allora for my husband's 37th. We were minutes late but still they welcomed us very well. We were seated immediately. We were assigned at one of the high tables section just in front of the kitchen where the magic happens. It was adjacent to the wall and the table is made out of steel comparing to the main regular seating. Our server was very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. We chose the 3 course meal, however we were charged with a 4 course menu. My bad, we were in a rush to go home that's why I haven't double checked the bill. I thought its the service charge, tax, and drinks that made the total. Food is great and flawless. Still highly recommended but be vigilant to check what they are being charged.

   Our date night experience was great. It was our first time dining at Allora and we will certainly return. We were greeted by a lovely hostess and seated in the "outdoor garden" area which was almost completely enclosed and warmed by overhead and floor heaters that were not propane. So no smell. The servers were prompt, efficient and friendly. The menu was explained and they accommodated my gluten free needs deliciously. The food was outstanding, the cocktails perfect!

   Overall experience excellent. Have been to Allora before. Ambiance nice, staff very pleasant. The menu for this month offers four categories of food for the patron to choose, with a number of selections in each category to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed my selections along with the optional wine flight, selected by their sommelier for each course. It is somewhat pricy, about fifty dollars short of a Michelin 1-star restaurant, but nothing to complain about from this person. Recommended

   Wonderful food and service. My companion and I each ordered different things from each course and everything was delicious. Our cocktails and wine also exceeded our expectations!

   Not our first time dining here. Just don’t think it was as good as previous experience. The octopus was definitely not as tender. Disappointed that zero effort was made to accommodate a genuine dietary restriction. “You can have the cheese for dessert” This was made known at the time of booking, it was not a walk in surprise. Server was less interactive, made very little effort to interact or communicate. When the tip is mandatory they don’t have to “work” for it. The food is very very good across the board and there were gods choices right across the board I just feel like our other experiences have been better. Maybe it was just a less than perfect night.

    Truly an incredible dining experience! Price fix 4 course menu with choices for each course. Enjoyed the special filet with shrimp on top and it was the best I’ve ever had. Fabulous mostly Italian wine list! If you want to splurge and treat yourself to a Michelin level dining experience I can’t recommend Allora enough!
